[Taro T]

Jacksonville Jaguars @ New Orleans Saints - Aints.  Knock the Jag offs right out of the playoff picture
Detroit Lions @ Baltimore Ravens  -  Lions
Las Vegas Raiders @ Chicago Bears  - Is there an alternate reality where the Raiders can catch the Chefs?  If yes, Raiders, if no, Da Bears
Cleveland Browns @ Indianapolis Colts - The Mistake on the Lake.  Bury the Bungles

Buffalo Bills @ New England Patriots - Da Bills
Washington Commanders @ New York Giants - That's a Jay Cutler Game - Don' Care
Atlanta Falcons @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers  - Bucs (SoS only)
Pittsburgh Steelers @ Los Angeles Rams - Stillers (See Cleveland Indy)
Arizona Cardinals @ Seattle Seahawks - Cutler
Green Bay Packers @ Denver Broncos - Is there an alternate reality where the Donkeys can catch the Chefs?  No, no, there isn't.  So, Pack
Los Angels Chargers @ Kansas City Chiefs - Lightning Bolts (but expect disappointment)
Miami Dolphins @ Philadelphia Eagles - Fly Iggles Fly
San Francisco 49ers @ Minnesota Vikings  - Cousins (just because F' the Whiners)

Not many tough games to pick, so I'll try to solve it with the fewest number of rules.  Bills actually became the sticking point here, so 'Bills win' is Rule 1A.  I need a second cup of coffee to think about this more.

 

Rule 1:  AFC division leaders lose

Rule 2:  Remaining NFC teams > Remaining AFC teams

Rule 3:  Remaining contests:  Oldest franchise wins.

 

 

 

● Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Buffalo Bills                                  
● New England Patriots @ Miami Dolphins                                
● New York Jets @ New York Giants                                         
● Jacksonville Jaguars @ Pittsburgh Steelers                          
● Atlanta Falcons @ Tennesse Titans                                        
● Houston Texans @ Carolina Panthers                                     
● Los Angeles Rams @ Dallas Cowboys                                    
● Minnesota Vikings @ Green Bay Packers                                
● New Orleans Saints @ Indianapolis Colts                                 
● Philadelphia Eagles @ Washington Commanders

I don't want to be all gloom and doom, but this game means a lot to the Bills for their chances to make the playoffs. A little help would go a long way.
